How the WaterGuard® system works

Our most popular drainage system, WaterGuard®, is the ideal solution for most basement waterproofing applications. Unlike old-fashioned drain tile systems installed on the outside of the home, WaterGuard® is installed just underneath the perimeter edge of the basement floor. Benefits of WaterGuard® include:

• Includes wall flange with 3/8" opening to collect water from walls. There's no gap on the basement floor to let humidity into the space or to collect debris.
• Able to waterproof concrete block foundation walls. Weep holes are drilled at the bottom of the blocks to drain the hollow cavities.
• Will not clog with mud. The system sits on top of the footing, away from the "mud zone" underneath your floor. Water is collected without the risk of clogs that would halt your system.

The WaterGuard® IOS Iron Ochre Perimeter Drain System

In some rare cases, homeowners with high iron levels in their water will experience a thick, reddish-orange substance oozing through when the basement floods. This material is called "iron ochre", and it comes from both bacterial origins and from chemical reactions in the soil.

It can easily clog your drainage system and stain your concrete, as well as anything else it touches. WaterGuard®: Iron Ochre System (IOS) is the answer for homeowners with iron ochre in their groundwater. This drain is specifically designed with wide openings and a completely removable lid that will help your system avoid clogging and provide clear access for maintenance.
